PCX Tyres

Post by gn2 »

In time I'm going to need tyres for my PCX.
Despite this scooter being a massive sales success, it seems like no-one is advertising suitable tyres for sale.
All the tyre sites I go on don't list a suitable pair, although Pirelli do Diablos for it. (pricy)
Maxxis and Michelin do 120/70-14 and 140/70-14, but not sure if they would be suitable.

OEM IRC tyre sizes are 90/90-14 front and 100/90-14 rear

Any suggestions for suitable (preferably cheap) replacements or anyone know of a good IRC stockists?

Didnt your Honda dealer tell you the scoots were disposable, once anything wears out you just bin it :kiss:

Seriously though, Im sure your Honda dealer will be able to help here. Have you done an ebay search?

The Honda dealer is the one place I haven't looked, perhaps I should before too long.
Maybe I might get a pleasant surprise.
We shall see.

My experience of Maxxis tyres was not a good one; on the T-Max, they were damn scary in the wet. :shock:

I had Maxxis on my first X8 and I thought they were shite too. I didn't realise it until I got my second X8 which had Michelins and I discovered it handled a hell of a lot better. 8-)

Nice one Phantom, maybe I'll try those next.
In the end I paid £70 :shock: for an OEM rear from the Honda dealer.
